How much should I pay for a paint job?

[BroncoJAK]

Most important advise I could give you is make sure you and your shop know exactly what you're expecting in a finished product. Go over the truck with the shop mgr. or someone else that is going to be responsible for getting the job you were promised. I've seen it several times, even on here when people are not clear upfront with what they want in a finished product. "Better then factory". Is one of the vaguest and dumbest thing I've ever heard.%) And in my years of experience people don't know their cars nearly as well as they think they do. Scuff and shoot paint jobs do not take care of scratches, rock chips, dents, dings, panel alignments, gaps, rust, or anything else other than paint. Good luck.
